Welcome! I’m a postdoc in philosophy at University of Hamburg and Free University Berlin (summer 2024). I study unjust social structures and their effects on agency and moral imagination.
My current research project is an in-depth study of the philosophical work of Audre Lorde, the US Black feminist theorist and poet. My first book, The Unflinching Philosophy of Audre Lorde, is under contract with Oxford University Press.
I’ve published on Black feminism in Journal of the APA and Hypatia, and I’ve also published book chapters on agency under oppression, sexual ethics, phenomenology, and the ethics and politics of food.
I received a PhD in Philosophy from Stony Brook University (SUNY) in 2020. My dissertation examined moral responsibility in sexual intimacy, particularly as shaped by pernicious, gender-based societal pressures on sexual behavior and communication.
